Granted he blew the call, but what justice are you doing to the game by not calling what you see? If I see an honest foul, even if in my partner's area, and he doesn't call it, than I will. It doesn't bother me the least bit in the sense that I know what I saw and that it gave a disadvantage to the other team.
Any call is the official's call. It's his business to make the call. I'd say you were out of line saying he has no business doing so. An official that won't make a call just because it wasn't in his "primary" needs to consider the disservice they are doing to the game. Call what you see - don't pick and choose. [/B]

The point is, you shouldn't see anything in your partner's area (except in certain circumstances). If you are looking in your partner's area, who's watching yours? There's much more to it than jsut calling your area, but that is what was meant when he said the lead should not be looking at the rim on the FT; that's the trails responsibility.
